Lose Fat With A Kitchen Rasp - Fat Loss Lifestyle Hack

Little things add up.  A snowflake is totally insignificant.  A few million of them can change a landscape entirely!  We tend to be a society of "big things."  We lose sight of the extremely powerful approach of letting very small things accumulate.

Ammasing a vast number of very minuscule actions can make a huge difference in your fat loss efforts.  In fact, especially once you reach the weight you would like to maintain, these small actions make the biggest difference in your long term success.

One such small thing is the humble kitchen rasp.  I love cheese.  It adds zest and punch to so many dishes.  And although it can be a very healthy food, especially if you choose an organic and unpasteurized source, it is also very calorie dense.  So the trick is to get the most impact from the least amount of cheese.  In order to do that, you need to grate it very finely.

The finer the cheese is grated, the more surface area it will reach in your mouth.  So you'll get more taste with less cheese.  This is a new trick for me, so I was a bit skeptical at first (being the cheese-lover that I am), but I have to tell you that it absolutely works.  However, it only works with fairly hard cheeses.

The rasp I use is the Microplane Stainless Steel Zester.  I'll admit that this is by default.  It was a present from my Mom.  I had no intention of buying one and did no research into which brand or type is best.  However, I am extremely happy with this one.  Mine came with a "box" that sits underneath it to catch the cheese (or whatever else you are grating).  The cheese grates easily and comes out extremely fine.  It amazes me how much volume it takes on when grated so finely.  And the taste really is amplified substantially.

So if you want a little lifestyle hack, just one snowflake's worth, to help you in your long term health and fitness strategy, give the kitchen rasp a try.

Cheers,
Adam

I had not thought of using such a utensil to limit the amount of cheese I intact.

Very clever trick! I don't typically like to grate my cheese so fine because I don't like the texture when I go to spread it on whatever I'm whipping up, but I may have to push through that and try this out.
